Cyclone Titan Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Alright, just to let you all know, I stumbled upon this magnificent creation and felt a need to share it--IT'S NOT MINE! ****************************************************************************** Out in the barren desert, a monster approaches. Not of organic descent, not even a being on it's own. It was a machine--bigger than those who had come before it--and it protects the last sliver of humanity from certain demise. It was a town. A mobile city. Or heaven; for those who had come to roam about with it. But it's not perfect. Workers still try day and night to work out the kinks. Thankfully, the hangar is full of vehicles--for even this mammoth cannot win all it's battles. The beast is powered by the sun, as is the produce for the townspeople. Here, we see that the machine is rife with social activities. There are also living spaces for those lucky enough to sleep. Superstructure and suspension are top notch... ...But they would have to be to support the mammoth wheels. *********************************************************************** Link to the full image gallery.

prateek Posted February 20, 2010 Oh. My. Gosh. I am speechless. Whoever made sure has a very obscure mind (no offence) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyclone Titan Posted February 20, 2010 Oh. My. Gosh. I am speechless. Whoever made sure has a very obscure mind (no offence) DeGobbi's his Flickr name. I too was speechless when I first saw this. So many details! CT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic Screwdriver Posted February 20, 2010 The amount of detail on this MOC is amazing... the self-sustainability aspects (power generation, workshops, storage, food, housing) are awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrTools Posted February 20, 2010 This has got to be one of the most imaginative things i have ever seen! Clearly one of the coolest thing i have seen in a while thanks for posting this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inconspicuous Posted February 20, 2010 What a unique creation! The suspension and wheels are incredible! It's just so ingenious. Hanging planes, solar panels, the whole thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted February 20, 2010 Someone has been reading the Traction City quartet (Mortal Engines, Predators Gold, Infernal Devices and A Darkling Plain. All by Phillip Reeve) that is a very good MOC. Thank you for bringing it to our attention Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johan J Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Someone has been reading the Traction City quartet (Mortal Engines, Predators Gold, Infernal Devices and A Darkling Plain. All by Phillip Reeve) ... Apart from the book cover, I now have a physical image on how one those cities might look. The books are kind of cybersteampunk, so this is just about right. Very nice.

LuxorV Posted February 20, 2010 Incredibly detailed and mind-opening MOC! I know I'd never build something like this (especially at this scale), but it's nice to see someone does. Thanks for sharing this finding, Cyclone Titan. LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, you just can't pass up sharing these things--especially when the maker is not a member of Eurobricks. I just figured I'd throw in some pics with a made-up backstory to complete them, so they wouldn't be boring, but , then again, how could they be? CT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero1312 Posted February 21, 2010 WOW, I am speechless..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyclone Titan Posted February 21, 2010 WOW, I am speechless..... Yep. Same as me. Alright, let's face it, the only reason I'm keeping this topic alive is because I want to see this thing frontpaged. But it completely deserves it if all that other stuff has been making the front page. CT PS. If this isn't frontpaged, I'll start a petition. PPS. No, really, I will!

Darth Legolas Posted February 21, 2010 Someone has to join EB. That's extremely impressive. I don't see how those treads are powered, but if that's what the front page, then I believe it. I don't really love the town on top, but everything below it is great! Overall this is a very, very impressive MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 21, 2010 Okay so I'm putting my eyes back in my head and picking up my jaw off the table ! That is BEYOND AWESOME ! What a find, who ever did this MOC, sorry MEGA-MOC is a pure genius !!!! The vertical aircraft hanger - very clever indeed ! On top of that is whats below - the driving part - that's what makes this thing AWESOME or more to the truth BEYOND AWESOME ! The Sci-Fi bar has now being raised so everyone I'm a conformist! !

Siegfried Posted February 21, 2010 This is probably the most stunning MOC I've seen for a long time, and the most Sci-Fi-ish too. But since this is from the same guy that made... ...the Goliath it's hardly surprising. What's even more impressive is that the treads have suspension and are powered. I'm hoping that he eventually posts a picture of it next to a human as I'm struggling to grasp the scale. This is the kind of MOC that I dream of making one day. I've ranted in the past that some MOCs are just impressive because they are huge, but this is that and more. The airport and "Aero 500" concept is cool, and the cute pizza store is just a laugh. What's especially cool about this MOC is the range of pieces; I can see pieces from the last year... and I can see pieces from 20 years back. I'm off to break all my sets and finish off my space station to one-up him... PS. If this isn't frontpaged, I'll start a petition.PPS. No, really, I will! Gee man, give me some time! But it completely deserves it if all that other stuff has been making the front page. That's often half the problem. I try not to frontpage anything is someone just posted something there.

Blakbird Posted February 22, 2010 I had the pleasure of seeing this thing in person at Brickcon this year and talking about it for a bit with the builder. It is truly a marvelous creation and hard to appreciate the scale without seeing it. There are a few pictures of it on my Brickshelf account: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4147661 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
